Converting Meng’s armored D9 to civilian model

I’ve taken this as far as I dare until I get my masks for lettering done -
Hydraulic hoses installed on ripper -

I made a beacon for the ROPS from a piece of clear sprue that had an air bubble cast in - perfect for the bulb. Sprue cut to size and polished and painted clear orange, mounted on plastic disc and cemented to ROPS -

Blade lift cylinders painted - lights installed - dry fitted -

hydraulic lines made up for blade tilt cylinder -

Working on masks - will post when they are done.

Thanks for looking and wishing all a Happy New Year !
